is q notorious fact that Captain An,

The question is: Can they contipus
their present speed? Under Ansons al

they can. They will have an off day Il
and then, but, barring accidents, there I

during the past week Daring hit for ID
singles, two doubles, and o triple.
The Boston team, Notwithstanding Nj
Kellys presence and influence among
